I recently purchased a yacht with a yanmar 2g diesel motor. (My first diesel)
The guy I bought it from, showed me very briefly how to start it etc and let it run for a minute maybe before taking off with the cash. In the mean time we loaded some provisions, for the trip home. I never touched anything except the kill switch and ignition before starting it again and leaving, it starting smoking 100m or so out where I killed it, Turns out he never turned the seacock on burning out the impeller, so we replaced that only to find once replaced the watercock plastic exhaust had holes in it that appeared to be burn holes in it probably from the demolished impeller. Found after replacing the impeller and water started pumping straight into the vessel. So my question is what other damage is likely to have been done. Starts perfect, pumps water, just not out of the exhaust because of the holes in the watercock. Any help would be greatly accepted.
Cheers Glenn
